'Will she EVER get any credit?' The Apprentice fans side with Alana over negotiations
LORD SUGAR was unimpressed with her negotiating skills on The Apprentice, but Alana Spencer has the full support of the show's fanbase after tonight's episode.
The Apprentice: Alana defends negotiating skills to Karren
It's been a long few weeks for the embattled 24-year-old cake company owner, who has struggled to earn respect from her team-mates in recent weeks - despite being a winning project manager just weeks ago.
Last week one of her ideas in the crowdfunding task was praised by the show's judges but ruined by her team-mates, and tonight her haggling also came under fire.
Karren Brady admitted her techniques were unexpected when Alana managed to bag a deal on cigars from being incredibly sweet and softly-spoken with the shopkeeper.
Lord Sugar slammed her in the boardroom as a result, with Karren also unhappy with her.

Alana GOT the deal. They shouldn't care so much about the how
On Twitter, one person said: "Wonder if Alana will ever get any credit for anything she does on #TheApprentice. Poor girl."
"Alana GOT the deal. They shouldn't care so much about the how. #TheApprentice," wrote another.
"I feel sorry for Alana she's so sweet and seems nervous, and almost everyone is rude to her #TheApprentice," a third viewer wrote.
Someone else ranted: "I actually agree with Alana there. She got the deal. If she's ok with how she got it what does it matter? #TheApprentice."
Lord Sugar slammed the hopeful
Yet another tweeted: "Alana didn't deserve that injustice, it doesn't matter how she got the deal she got it nonetheless #TheApprentice."
Still, as her team won, Alana remains in the running for another week.
The Apprentice airs Thursdays at 9pm on BBC One.
